Sins

you are bleeding from every pore 
your spirit is shattered 
the trauma to your soul, massive 

you tell me your sins 
as though I was your confessor, 
but the redemption you need can not come from me 

how many candles should I light? 
how many Hail Mary’s can I say 
to eradicate this pain? 

although the wounds will heal 
irreparable damage has been done 
and my heart aches for you 

can you find your way back? 
tell me what to do, what you need 
to ease this pain 

I stretch out my hand, grab hold 
I offer a shoulder, lean on me 
I open my heart and surround you with love
